Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Easy kids banking

Great have good control on the kids account Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Absolutely great for young kids and teenagers

Great experience for both parent and children. Great learning on finance for kids and fantastic for parents to keep watch and teach the importance of payments. My oldest makes sure cash is left for his spotify etc, so great to teach them the need to keep money in account for personal needs and payments. All round fantastic service and easy to use/follow Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy for kids to use and parents to monitor

Had a few different accounts for kids over the years Starling is a step above just like the adult accounts. Highly visible and straightforward. I’d recommend for anyone Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great notifications and visibility

Such an easy app to use and gives a great overview of what you have spent money on Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Made my life so much easier!

I wanted a card for my son so that he could pay for his bus fare etc without me having to find cash, which I don’t always carry, and you can’t take £5 out the cashpoint, so I googled cards for kids and found starling kite on a money comparison site, I already have a starling account so this was a nice surprise for me, I figured it’d make sense and both my son and I have found it to be the exact thing we needed, it has made life so much simpler for us, I’ve set up auto payments so now I don’t even have to think about it and he has more independence which he loves, it also has the added bonus of being able to keep any extra money, eg birthday gifts in a separate place for his use. I also love that there are tools to help teach him good money habits. I’m very happy with this service :) Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
